Wife Just Diagnosed w/ ES SCLC - What Can We Expect?

@rlogan and @merpreb I’m going to jump in here about retrofitting wheelchair access to one’s home because my husband just did some research about this for friends. They thought that it would be a simple and inexpensive solution to simply have him build a ramp. But there are specific requirements for building codes and safety with respect to incline, length necessary to maintain the incline, resting spot according to length, etc.
For our friend, the more efficient, safer and cheaper solution was an elevator, which they purchased second hand.

We are looking into the lift/elevator option also. We found a 50" rise one for less than $4000. I will still need to raise that landing area by 12+ inches to achieve the 62" total rise. Thanks for the input.
I had to take her to the hospital today and she is suffering from a urinary tract infection and slight pneumonia. She is back home and received antibiotics for both issues. She has started on an appetite enhancer this evening, so hopefully that will get her hungry again.

WOW! By looking briefly at google they are not as expensive as I would think. Thank you so much for this, Colleen.
Bob- Does this look like something that interests you?
